WITTEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A possible success in treating septic shock has now been attained by the research team embracing SanguiBioTech GmbH, the Excellence Cluster Cardio Pulmonary System (ECCPS) and TransMIT Gesellschaft für Technologietransfer mbH. Preclinical trials at Giessen University underpin that a hemoglobin based product developed by SanguiBioTech is apt to improve the oxygen supply of vital organs. It is now being supposed that Sangui’s hemoglobin-based artificial oxygen carriers may interrupt the self-perpetuating mechanism of septic shock, that has so far been highly resistant to treatment, and may thus ultimately reduce the high mortality rates.
A septic shock is the life threatening final phase of a sepsis. The blood circulation, else exactly tuned to meet the needs of the body, begins to severely malfunction which results in deficient oxygen supply of the body tissue. This hypoxia induces a progressional intoxication of the body with bacteria and bacteria debris. Modern medical science has not yet identified suitable therapies to effectively fight this self-perpetuating mechanism of septicemia, which, therefore, results in mortality rates of 50 to 60 percent.
Preclinical trials in Giessen now demonstrate that an oxygen-carrying hemoglobin liquid in the abdomen did significantly improve the oxygen supply to the intestines. This is likely to be a decisive new therapeutic approach to disrupting this lethal loop. The preclinical trials are being continued as planned, extending the scope to additional indications such as ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) and further hemoglobin preparations as developed by SanguiBioTech.
